August pickups

[David Atkatz]

Just picked up this (not so remarkable photo) on eBay, showing a suspender-wearing man at Yankee Stadium in 1938. He's sitting in a free-standing Windsor chair, identical to the one I obtained last month from Lelands:





But let's look more closely. Notice the twisted-wire added to the chair to tighten up the wooden pieces:



And here's the identical repair on my chair:



Well, I thought it was interesting.

That is interesting. Nice provenance for the chair....and I am pretty sure that is Joe Jackson in suspenders, unmistakeable ear.

Super-cool, David!

Nice... That photo is "gold". Might be worth as much as the Chair itself (given the unlikely photo-match!)

First ever chair photo-match!

Hi Jonathan,
Love the ticket. Very cool!

You're not alone, David, in thinking it's interesting. I love it when I can photo match something...in my case, usually a pennant or stadium souvenir.
